It's HIGHLY unlikely that they'd make it so you couldn't access anything outside that region's dex. I mean, I guess it kind of makes sense for an isolated region to have isolated wildlife, but stuff like Rattata & Zubat should be virulent enough species to infiltrate pretty much any area of the Pokemon world. Also, there's the ocean to consider. It's got to border with SOMETHING, and if that something has any Kanto/Johto/Hoenn/Sinnoh pokemon then it's an easy access path.
Well, this is true. The theory is broken, has holes, etc.
ALthough, it is possible that there are 157 new pokemon but the pokedex will probably not be 157. It will probably be more like 180 - 220. For example, i believe Platinum had 210 Pokemon in the Pokedex and HG & SS had about 250 (For not the National Pokedex, that's A LOT.) . I think it is possible that we could see 157 brand new Pokemon in B & W, but i HIGHLY doubt that there wouldn't be ANY old Pokemon in the Region/Pokedex.
I think on the first Routes we're gunna be seeing Pokemon like Chiramii and Mamepato, but i also think there will be others EVENTUALLY but not right away. For example, Hoenn's first Routes had Zigzagoon and Poochyenna and Sinnoh's had Bidoof and Starly. (see the simalarity between Starly and Mamepato? Likely that Mamepato is on the first Route(s)?)
I think that many of our old favorites will be kept in the new game like, Ghastly line, Machop line, Zubat line (Is it possible to be replaced by Koromori?), Onix line, Abra line, Magikarp line (This better stay... MAGIKARP FTW!!!!
), Geodude line, Happiny/Chansey line (Blissey has hard-core HP), Pichu/Pikachu (Well, No DUH....), Munchlax/Snorlax, Unown (Maybe some new symbols example= *, $, # maybe?), Feebas line (Just because Milotic is pure agony), Sneasel line (Beacause Ice Shard is wicked fast), and many others could be kept/booted as well. With all of the ones I've listed along with the 157, you have about 190 Pokemon. Like I said, others could be added or booted so it could be a Pokedex from the 157 possible to 250 something like HG/SS.
In conclusion, i think that B/W will be two new games with many mysteries and many stories. New things will be revealed only when the games come out and when we see some gameplay, some Pokemon will only be in certain areas or certain times, i think that the rumors of the new "Weather Changer Things" might be true (As we saw with one of the first gameplay pictures with Reshiram), I think that the Gym Leaders will be stronger, smarter, and better than ever (Maybe using those "Weather Changer Things"), Our Rival will be stronger, more eager to fierce us (Battle us more often), and possibly not related to the Proffessor Again (It's only happened in Johto and Sinnoh....
Why the heck do they have to be related? We get a Pokedex for free and we're not his Grandon, Son, Grandaughter, Daughter, Etc.....), I think the new villains will be more fierce, have cooler theme music (I pray....
), and will try to keep on coaxing us into joining them.
I think that some Pokemon will only Evolve when given special new items, new stones (Sun, Moon, Thunder, Etc.), Time of Day, Friendship/Hatred (Hopefully they don't take the Hatred thing the wrong way....) I think that Reshiram and Zekrom will have their own special place in the skies of the Region and that "The Green Pokemon (It better not be that gimpy little toy....)" will be somewhere on the ground and might be like a mediator and exiled or something.
I think that the villains won't try to take the powers of the legendary Pokemon (Aww.... the good days when Team Rocket was around.... i think....
) example = Team Aqua wanted Kyogre and Team Magma wanted Groudon and Team Galactic wanted Dialga and Palkia but not Giratina (Only more emphasizing my point that "The Green Pokemon might be like a mediator and exiled and everything.)
Anyway, I can't wait to see what B/W has in store for us.
White Version/Zekrom FTW!!
